The One About Fidelity

by Rev. Stephan Mead, O.M.C.

A friend of mine called the other day and asked if I’d be willing to have a conversation with him about fidelity, specifically marital fidelity. Me, being without ego didn’t wonder for even a second if the conversation was going to have anything at all to do with me. (Ha, just kidding.) Anyway, the conversation didn’t have anything to do with me, as my friend was looking for some help, some clarity, a way of “seeing’ his present circumstance other than he was sleeping with a married person and therefore was absolutely guilty, and rightfully so, filled with shame.

Tap

by Rev. Paula Richards, O.M.C.

Years ago, one of my high school friends had the habit of saying “you know” very frequently when she spoke. When we were sitting chatting with our English teacher one day, the teacher picked up a nearby pencil and began lightly tapping the back of my friend’s hand each time she said, “You know.” With each tap, my friend became more and more self-conscious until she was finally rendered speechless. We all laughed, but I never forgot the incident.

Sybil as Metaphor

by Rev. Cheryl Hubbard, O.M.C.

Many of us associate the name Sybil with multiple personalities. “Sybil” is the name of a made for TV miniseries from 1976, based on a true story. I saw it on TV at that time and just watched it again. Seeing it again nearly 40 years later, through the eyes of ACIM, it is a new movie to me and even more interesting.

Seeing Past the Illusion

by Rev. Peggy Rivera, O.M.C.

Over the past week I have been communicating with an old friend, a woman whom I was close to when I was in my 20’s. We were discussing our first marriages and the heartache we felt when the marriages ended. In the past I would have felt a little bitter and victimized, but today I don’t feel that way at all. I feel only compassion for the men who left us. I understand that they were feeling there own sense of lack. My first husband was killed in a car accident shortly after we divorced and I had just married my present husband. He never got to spend time with his only son.

I Seek A Future Different from the Past

by Rev. Veronika Birken, O.M.C.

With ACIM Workbook Lesson 314, it is really important to pause after each sentence: From new perception of the world there comes a future very different from the past. (1)

The willingness to watch the thought process and take everything that is not loving to the Holy Spirit to be changed, brings about transformation. But this work needs to be done!

A Holy Instant at the End of the Healing Inner Child Program

by Rev. Maria Kingsley, O.M.C.

Several times a year I offer the Healing Inner Child 8-Week Program. This time around I only had two takers, even though many told me they would want to participate. So, I continued anyway with only two people, a man and a young woman. Then the woman could not come any more for personal reasons, and so I continued with the man.

During the last lesson, there is a group activity of ‘Nurturing the Needy Inner Child.’ The meeting before this, we had made wonderful progress, and he had insights into a feeling he had had all of his life when he was just a little one in the crib.  This experience pretty much took care of his childhood obstacles since he had done quite a bit of personal work before. So during this last activity, I asked him to write down what his immature self wanted to hear, since he could no longer identify with ‘the needy child within.’ He wrote about half a page of desires he had and which he wanted to experience in his life.

Winter Incubating

by Rev. Andrea Sassa Archuletta, O.M.C.

Hiking the mountain trails around my home, I am reminded that winter is quickly coming. The sun is sitting lower in the sky. Her warming light retreats earlier each day. Chilly darkness moves in for longer and longer nights. Fall’s yellow and gold colors are gone. Stalks topped with their dried flowers remain, fragile against ice-tinged air.

In the stillness of cold and clouds and grey, I sometimes hear myself thinking it feels lonely; that I feel lonely in the silence of winter. I talk to this feeling. I want to know what it is trying to tell me. I believe this feeling is in me because a part of my mind is living in separation from the truth of what I am.

You Are Not Bad, You Are Wounded

by Rev. Barbara Goodman Siegel, O.M.C.

“Recently, I listened to a lecture by Marianne Williamson. During the lecture, Marianne said: “To forgive someone means to see that they are not bad, they are wounded.” When she spoke these words, they flew out and stuck to me in the same way that arrows with suction cups stick to the wall when they are shot from a bow. OK, this is probably not a new thought to ACIM students, but maybe it was the “100th” monkey principle that made me get it in a way I just hadn’t before or maybe I am so willing to give up blame and guilt that I was able to really hear this simple, but profound statement and apply it not only to others but to myself.

Reclaiming the Power of Our Minds

by Rev. Myron Jones, O.M.C.

This is what I want to contemplate today:

“Denial has no power in itself, but you can give it the power of your mind, whose power is without limit. If you use it to deny reality, reality is gone for you.” (T-7.VII.1:5-6)

Again and again in the Course Jesus reminds us that the power of our mind is unlimited. This is so hard for us to comprehend. We have denied this power so thoroughly that we can’t say no to chocolate, or we procrastinate to the point we cause ourselves grief and think there is nothing we can do about it. We fall in and out of love and hurt each other and it seems just to happen to us. We feel like we have no power over our lives at all. And yet, Jesus says we have unlimited power. So we must be doing this to ourselves.

Holy Spirit, a Voice I Can Trust

by Rev. Michael Graves, O.M.C.

Recently I had one of those days that didn’t quite seem to make sense. At least not at first glance. Have you ever had one of those days? What these days often expose to me is the fact that there are always unseen energies of Love at work on my behalf, whether I am aware of them or not.

If Only

by Oscan Senn

If I only believed what I know to be true
then my world would be different,
and yours would be too.

I’d take every step with the Light
by my side without shadows to shun,
or darkness to hide.

Spirit Light Outreach

by Joe Wolfe

“What could you not accept if you but knew that all events, past, present and to come were designed by One whose only intention was for your good?”

That’s a reminder to us from Jesus in Lesson 135 of the Workbook in A Course in Miracles. All events! Every single encounter… every situation… every holy encounter…

For me, those events included following the path of a career criminal. I cared not for my fellow man but only for my own personal self-gratification regardless of who I harmed in the process.

My tale of experiencing miracles through my special relationships with my daughter, Stephanie and her step-dad, my second husband, Tom continued to be an excruciating and painful forgiveness lesson for many years to come after Steph’s attempted suicide.

Changing Teachers

by Rev. Larry Glenz, O.M.C.

Recently, my computer had a virus that was making my experience with it very aggravating. I took it to a store that boasted it would rid my computer of every virus, increase its speed, and guarantee to protect it from further attack for two full years. The cost was $300. My computer was less than two years old and I thought it would be worth the investment to have that professional assistance available.
